Suresh Riani took a ton-up salute as Astley and Tyldesley marched into the semi-finals of the Cross Cup in the Anthony Axford Bolton Association.

The Indian professional hit 102 out of 229-8 at Standish, who were always struggling in reply and fell 31 runs short.

Devendra Bundela's amazing average was cut in half, to 224.5, in Darcy Lever's five-wicket win at Golborne. The Indian star was run out for eight to make it twice out this season in an aggregate of 449, but his side easily made the last four.

Joining them are Elton, who found their form to see off Spring View, and Clifton, winners at Edgworth and still on course to make the final for the fourth time in five years.
